​

With the NAMBA Nationals looming, a full field of 1/10th scales was on hand. Geoffry and Lexy were battling up front, before Lexy's American Speedy Printing spun out in the left turn while trying to take over the lead. Geoffry collected his first victory of the year, with young Enzo taking an impressive 2nd place.

​

Gas Scale Consolation

1st: 1983 Miss Houston, Henry Oord

2nd (DNF): 1976 Olympia Beer, Steve Roman

3rd (DNS): 1983 American Speedy Printing, Bill Brandt

​

A good race on paper never quite materialized as the Miss Houston was the only boat left running, allowing Henry to advance to the final.

Gas Scale Final

1st: 1977 Atlas Van Lines, Jim Whyte

2nd: 1983 KISW Miss Rock, Dave Brandt

3rd: 1988 Miss Stroh Light, Scott Meyers

4th: 1969 Pride of Pay'n Pak, Ken Olson

5th: 1983 Miss Houston, Henry Oord

6th (DNF): 1982 Miss Machine Rock Band, Mike Henriksen

​

Jim Whyte had the Atlas running well on Sunday, and he capped it off with a well timed start and victory over Saturday's winner with the Miss Rock. It was Jim's second victory of 2026, both with the Atlas Van Lines.

​

1/8th Scale Electric (FE) Consolation

1st: 1972 Notre Dame, Corey Moore

2nd: 1993 Miss Rock, Jake Gray

3rd: 1975 Pay'n Pak, Wayne Beeson

4th: 2011 Red Dot, Jason Colean

5th: 1982 Oh Boy! Oberto, Jim Brittain

6th: 1978 Squire Shop (U-64), Talon Moore

​

The finish order of this race didn't quite reflect the result on the water! The Oberto collected a penalty early, and the Moore brothers were battling at the front. It was noticed that the dummy driver for the Squire Shop fell out and was left on the course after lap four, and while it looked like Talon held off the field and advanced to the final, unfortunately the boat is not allowed to advance when it leaves debris on the course. This put Corey Moore and the Notre Dame in position to move up to the final.

​

1/8th Scale Electric (FE) Final

1st: 1989 Winston Eagle, Dylan Hirano

2nd: 1983 Miss Houston, Henry Oord

3rd: 1983 American Speedy Printing, Bill Brandt

4th (DNF): 1972 Notre Dame, Corey Moore

5th (DNF): 1983 KISW Miss Rock, Rich Matkin

6th (DSQ): 1987 Miller American, Paxton Reunanen

7th (DSQ): 1975 Weisfield's, Bobby Colean

​

After a clean FE final on Saturday, Sunday brought some chaos back to the water. The Miller American was called for a lane violation in the mill, jumped the gun and hit a buoy, which resulted in a disqualification. The Miss Houston jumped the gun, but Henry had the speed and was charging hard to make up the lap. Meanwhile, the Weisfield's drifted in front of the Notre Dame on the backstretch, which resulted in a flip and a disqualification. Up front, it was the Winston Eagle, with Dylan Hirano, who was searching for his first career victory. With the Miss Houston charging hard, Dylan eked the Winston across the line, for his first career victory.

​

1/8th Scale Nitro Consolation

1st: 2016 Oberto, Jim Brittain

2nd: 1979 Miss Circus Circus, Geoffry Grembowski

3rd: 2007 Miss Beacon Plumbing, Adam Putich

4th (DNF): 1971 Pride of Pay'n Pak, Brent Edinger

5th (DNF): 1974 Red Man, Steve Roman

6th (DNS): 1983 Miss Renault, Joey Caines

​

Geoffry and Adam battled hard for the inside lane, but perhaps it was for naught as Jim Putich used superior speed on the outside with the Oberto to take the win and advance to the final.

​

1/8th Scale Nitro Final

1st: 1978 Squire Shop (U-65), Dave Brandt

2nd: 1974 Miss U.S., Steve Kinney

3rd: 2019 Delta/Realtrac, Zach Gordon

4th: 1982 Oh Boy! Oberto, Jim Brittain

5th: 2016 Oh Boy! Oberto, Jim Putich

6th: 1988 Miss Stroh Light, Scott Meyers

7th (DNS): 1977 Squire, Kirk Maupin

​

Saturday's matchup didn't quite materialize for Sunday, as the Squire inexplicably could not get off of the launch area. That put Dave Brandt's Squire Shop in great position to best a strong field, taking his third victory of the year, and his fifth straight Bernie Little Memorial.
